As my auditions are just on the other side of the holiday break, I am sensing just a wee bit of interest in Ladies Man. I can see them passing one of the tell-tale bright pink copies of the play back and forth between backpacks like contraband. I can see them arranging for the required partner for the audition. Sometimes if I look fast enough I can see them sitting in the hall going over the lines and planning a thought or two. BUT every time I walk by, it is all hidden away and silenced. They are likely excited or at least interested in auditioning, but they can NEVER show that interest to me. That would be inviting bad mojo into the high school halls. You have to be careful that you are never SEEN preparing and never too HUNGRY to get cast. Preparation is all a secret game.
